As career-launching requirements go, talent is obviously key. Sometimes, luck is also involved. All things considered, hair isn’t one of the first things to cross our minds – but a dramatic hair transformation can make a major difference. If you’re in doubt, then let the video Millie Bobby Brown recently shared on Twitter change your mind for good. The Stranger Things actress captioned the clip, “Here it is!! The video of me getting my hair shaved for #StrangerThings. Enjoy! […] #buzzed.” The sped-up film – set to the apropos sounds of Beyonce’s “Pretty Hurts” – shows Millie’s hairstylists take her from flowing waves to a head-hugging buzz cut. Once the change has been successfully executed, Millie swivels on her chair and gives the camera her signature stare-down (cue chills).

We really can’t imagine Millie’s character, Eleven, with any other hairstyle. Sure, we should definitely credit her serious acting chops for bringing the badass character to life, but there’s no doubt that her hair plays a major role. For one thing, the short ‘do emphasizes her eyes, which helps heighten the eerie effect of her powers. The buzz cut might not be everyone’s career-changing cut, but Millie has certainly made it work. BRB, time to play some Stranger Things reruns while we await Season 2.
